Default Configuration File Error and Cross-Site Access Issue with Etherpad Integration in Jitsi Meet

[glycerinevaseline]

Describe the bug I am currently running independent instances of Synapse, Jitsi, and Etherpad on my server.

My Etherpad is hosted at ether., and Jitsi Meet is at jitsi..

Firstly, there was an issue in the configuration file where the default value of etherpad_base_url had an extra / at the end, which caused a 404 error when trying to open a shared document in Jitsi Meet to access Etherpad.

After manually correcting the etherpad_base_url to the correct URL, Jitsi Meet was able to access Etherpad properly, but I encountered the following error:

How should I modify the Traefik or Etherpad configuration file to enable correct access to Etherpad from within Jitsi Meet?

To Reproduce

# The bare domain name which represents your Matrix identity.
# Matrix user ids for your server will be of the form (`@user:<matrix-domain>`).
#
# Note: this playbook does not touch the server referenced here.
# Installation happens on another server ("matrix.<matrix-domain>").
#
# If you've deployed using the wrong domain, you'll have to run the Uninstalling step,
# because you can't change the Domain after deployment.
#
# Example value: example.com
matrix_domain: [REDACTED]

# The Matrix homeserver software to install.
# See:
#  - `roles/custom/matrix-base/defaults/main.yml` for valid options
# - the `docs/configuring-playbook-IMPLEMENTATION_NAME.md` documentation page, if one is available for your implementation choice
matrix_homeserver_implementation: synapse

# A secret used as a base, for generating various other secrets.
# You can put any string here, but generating a strong one is preferred (e.g. `pwgen -s 64 1`).
matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key: [REDACTED]

# By default, the playbook manages its own Traefik (https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/) reverse-proxy server.
# It will retrieve SSL certificates for you on-demand and forward requests to all other components.
# For alternatives, see `docs/configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md`.
matrix_playbook_reverse_proxy_type: playbook-managed-traefik

# This is something which is provided to Let's Encrypt when retrieving SSL certificates for domains.
#
# In case SSL renewal fails at some point, you'll also get an email notification there.
#
# If you decide to use another method for managing SSL certificates (different than the default Let's Encrypt),
# you won't be required to define this variable (see `docs/configuring-playbook-ssl-certificates.md`).
#
# Example value: someone@example.com
devture_traefik_config_certificatesResolvers_acme_email: [REDACTED]

# A Postgres password to use for the superuser Postgres user (called `matrix` by default).
#
# The playbook creates additional Postgres users and databases (one for each enabled service)
# using this superuser account.

# By default, we configure Coturn's external IP address using the value specified for `ansible_host` in your `inventory/hosts` file.
# If this value is an external IP address, you can skip this section.
#
# If `ansible_host` is not the server's external IP address, you have 2 choices:
# 1. Uncomment the line below, to allow IP address auto-detection to happen (more on this below)
# 2. Uncomment and adjust the line below to specify an IP address manually
#
# By default, auto-detection will be attempted using the `https://ifconfig.co/json` API.
# Default values for this are specified in `matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_address_auto_detection_*` variables in the Coturn role
# (see `roles/custom/matrix-coturn/defaults/main.yml`).
#
# If your server has multiple IP addresses, you may define them in another variable which allows a list of addresses.
# Example: `matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_addresses: ['1.2.3.4', '4.5.6.7']`
#
# matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_address: ''

When I remove etherpad_base_url: "https://etherpad.[REDACTED]", the embedded Etherpad in Jitsi Meet reports a 404 error because the concatenated URL is incorrect and does not exist at all.

Expected behavior I hope to avoid manually defining this option and have the embedded Etherpad in Jitsi Meet work correctly with the default settings, without encountering cross-site access issues. And I received such a prompt in configuring-playbook-etherpad.md.

When enabled together with the Jitsi audio/video conferencing system (see our docs on Jitsi), it will be made available as an option during the conferences.

However, there's no mention of anything related to Etherpad in configuring-playbook-jitsi.md, which is quite confusing. I hope that more explanations can be added to the docs. Matrix Server:

• OS: [Debian 12.6]
• Architecture [amd64]

Interesting! Will see if I can get it working! Appreciate the help! m
